It was unsettling how easy it was to readjust to life in Kismet Harbor. There were changes around town, sure. It had been a decade, after all. But so much of it was so mind-numbingly the same that it was dragging Eliza down as she ran her errands downtown. Then: she spotted it - well, her. Rosa de la Vega. The perfect cure to her boredom was walking through the doors of the shop right in front of her. Eliza curved her thumb and index finger to her lips, executing a perfect wolf whistle (her favorite party trick) before calling out, "Damn, Vega. How did you get even hotter since I last saw you?"

One would think Bethany could finally learn the dangers of distracted walking in a place like this, but no — looking down at the match three game on her phone as she comes so close to topping her high score, the mage runs straight into wall.

Looking up to correct her path and curse herself for a fool, Bethany abruptly realizes that it’s not a wall she ran into, but a person. A very tall person with a...shark tail...oh!

“Uh, sorry about that,” she says with a sheepish laugh, rubbing at the back of her neck. “Are you Rosa, by any chance? I’m Bethany, Anders’ friend.” A quick pause before she hastens to add: “I’m double sorry if I’m a jackass and you aren’t her.”
